Conducting a large-scale literature review and synthesizing the findings from different research areas, this book finds that MEXC can be measured with the help of a set of 25 secondary data indicants, which are aggregated to a MEXC dashboard.

Its followers are known as 'Sapeurs' ('Sapeuses' for women). Most have ordinary day jobs as taxi-drivers, tailors and gardeners, but as soon as they clock off they transform themselves into debonair dandies.

Time Atlas weaves together images from a variety of sources, from intimate personal archives to Internet imagery, old encyclopaedias, newspapers, guidebooks and manuals. Following an idiosyncratic visual and intuitive logic, Niina Vatanen combines all the different materials creating many new and surprising connections. Inspired by encyclopaedias, Vatanen organises pictures loosely with thematic categories. She is focusing especially on questions concerning time and our perception of it, and exploring how visual memory, personal experience, and history intertwine.
This comprehensive publication depicts the work of the music collective in a historical context and serves as inspiration for a new generation of network music.
The Swedish photographer Erik Ostensson is known for his surrealistic, deceptively simple, and unique pictorial compositions. His poetically performative images reveal an emotional interplay in the depiction of the interaction between people, objects, and landscapes. Everything appears to be interconnected in harmonious coexistence, whereby new relationships in materials and form develop. Ostensson encourages the viewer to discard learned habits of seeing and to look with the eyes of a child who has only just begun to discover the world.
